It can be possible that it is shingles. I would like to know if you suffered from chicken pox earlier or long ago.

Let us know the details of the location and long-distance pictures so that they can be evaluated properly and for suggesting appropriate treatment.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to iclinq.com.

I suggest you follow a few instructions mentioned below.

1. Take tablet Valacyclovir 1 gm. Take the tablet twice daily for five days.

2. Use Calamine lotion for local applications.

3. Take tablet Acetaminophen 500 mg. Take the tablet twice daily for three days after food if there is pain.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

Also, suggest you get reviewed after five days.

Thank you.
